Storable intravenous stands

摘要

The present invention is directed to a base member for a portable intravenous stand. The base member includes a plurality of segments configured to facilitate the close nesting or alignment of multiple portable intravenous stands; and thus reducing the amount of space required for storing the portable intravenous stands when not in use.

主权项

1. A portable intravenous stand comprising:
a base member including a plurality of segments, wherein the plurality of segments further include
a first segment having a first end and a second end;a second segment having a first end and a second end wherein the first end of the second segment is operatively connected to the first end of the first segment forming a first junction lying within a first plane; an outrigger member having a first end and a second end wherein the outrigger member first end is operatively attached to the first junction such that the first junction is elevated above the outrigger member; a first rotating member operatively attached proximate the second end of the first segment; a second rotating member operatively attached proximate the second end of the second segment; a third rotating member operatively attached proximate the second end of the outrigger member wherein the first, second and third rotating members are within a second plane parallel to and lower than the first plane; a circle lying within the second plane, wherein the first, second and third rotating members essentially lie upon a circumference of the circle; and, a support integral to the base member and capable of maintaining a pole member substantially perpendicular to the first plane.
